No email, account still limited after 180 days?
 

So two of my accounts had been limited at around the same time, but I only received one email about withdrawing. I've successfully withdrawn already from one account however the other is still locked. Have you guys encountered something like this? What can I do? I already sent PayPal a mail.
Thanks:help:

its depend on when u received last payment from your client ,date will count of your last transaction

Wait for Paypal to respond or give them a call - how much time has passed?

Re: No email, account still limited after 180 days?
 

They say I have to provide documents in order to be able to withdraw, even though they definitely told me 180 days ago that I will be able to withdraw without further do.
What can I do?

i already answer you above

Re: No email, account still limited after 180 days?

Re: No email, account still limited after 180 days?
 

kindly check your last transition that you makes ,days count from when you received last payment.
if 180 days passed then just make a call to paypal,they wil check and sent you a email manually

I already checked the last transaction, and it was made on the 5th of January so 180 days should be over by now

OP: Your flag says you are in Hungary. What country PayPal are you using?

There have been situations where PayPal refuses to allow you to withdrawal after the 180 days is up if you don't verify your identity. I am seeing this more and more now, and it's fairly common on UK accounts.

the automatic email generating from paypal system to completing 180 days .
country does not matter .it can be trouble to getting withdraw but for 180 days email.it will never effect

Re: No email, account still limited after 180 days?
 

yeah, i chose uk because us accounts need ssn and different kinds of verifications and i didnt wanna deal with that... thought uk would be okay but i guess that was a bad choice

Things have changed with the PayPal 180 days hold. It used to be pretty much automatic that you could withdraw after 180 days had past.

Now in some cases after the 180 days PayPal might want you to verify your ID before allowing you to withdraw

Re: No email, account still limited after 180 days?
 

This is correct.

This forum is full of past threads from UK account holders who have been unable to get their funds back past 180 days. Most people who have tried to submit "creative" docs have been unsuccessful because PayPal checks the ID with 3rd party database before allowing withdrawal.

They are also starting to do this on some USA accounts as well.

so what do? or i should forget the money?

Re: No email, account still limited after 180 days?
 

If the account was in your own name, the ability to verify it would be obvious.

Unfortunately they will likely want to verify the identity of the account holder before releasing funds. Some UK based users have tried to escalate with the ombudsman, Trading Standards, or other agencies to pressure them. This rarely works when the account is not in your name, however.

You can obviously try giving them the docs/ID they are asking for, but your chances are not very good they will accept it.
